Title: The Sting on BBC 1 tonight
Post by: LukieD on September 19, 2006, 06:56:36 PM
When a mutual friend is killed by a mob boss, two con men, one experienced and one young try to get even by pulling off the big con on the mob boss. The story unfolds with several twists and last minute alterations.

Film on BBC 1 tonight at 11:05. Lead actors are Paul Newman and Robert Redford. Anyone seen it and can recommend it?

The Sting - as good as it gets - simply brilliant.

No not last lost of C4 tonight, next week and no first view on E4 tonight so got to wait till next week for the last 2 hours.

Ignoring the fact I said Jeepers Creeper 2 was a good film, The Sting is an all-time classic, and the reason I started playing poker.

Ya' folla

Crackings story. Great cast including Robert Shaw. (Who's VERY good in 'The Taking Of Pelham 123' for any fans of 'heist' movies)

Yes Lazeroonie,

Matthau smells a rat but can't quite put his finger on it then nature gives him a helping hand :)     Fantastic soundtrack and some nice little touches. Tarantino was obviously a fan, borrowing the 'Mr Colour' idea.

Arthur 2 was on down here a couple of weeks back, so you might get the sting in October!

Actually the Sting was shown in Scotland in 1976, so in 30 years you might catch up with us. ;goodvevil;

Predictable? It's got more twists in it then a fat mans colon. I watched it again last night - loved it - every time I watch it I see new things! Having said that it took me two go's to understand Sliding Doors...
